Increased traffic at Station Road/B6265 junction.
A modern high density estate would overshadow the open space area around the sports grounds which is at odds with ‘Seeking to protect and enhance existing open spaces, green areas’
If recent developments like the ones in Steeton & Silsden are an example of the housing proposed then these would look out of keeping with the nearby conservation area.
The proximity to the railway and A629, which is noisier since being resurfaced, may limit the type of housing developers will want to build due to reduced selling prices.
There seems to be a lack of a provision for bungalows in any of these new developments, given that there is an aging population which may want this type of property.
